PROCRASTINATION: New(ish) games to waste away your afternoon

Draw Something

The Shiny Shiny team seems to have been pretty late to the Draw Something
party, but in the past few days we've really made up for that. So much so that
we're having dreams about drawing Bieber and stick people with our finger tips.
Draw Something is a relatively new app that allows you to play a simple and fun
form of Pictionary with your friends (or complete randoms). You get a choice of
three words to draw, then choose between different colours and widths of pen
and away you go. Once you've drawn something for your friend, they draw
something for you and it's an ongoing cycle of doodles, scribbles and hilarious
interpretations of simple words.
Some are easy like "fishing" or "jump" others are a little more hilarious, like
"bieber" and "frodo".
Available from iTunes and Google Play.

The Pictionary / Words With Friends hybrid Draw Something has exploded over the past six weeks with more than 30 million (yes, million) of us using our chubby little fingers to scribble rubbish pictures of Lady Gaga, dandruff and iPads.

So, we thought it’d be a good time to collect together a few more of our favourite new games for you to happily waste away your afternoon, whether you’re a Facebook, iPad or mobile gamer.
